Lakota cash sent me this letter as well as sending a wage garnishment letter to my employer stating that since they were on an indian reservation they did not have to follow state laws only federal. They also stated that since they were a sovereign nation they did not have to get a court order to garnish my wages.....any one know anything about this????

It's all BS!! Your state law prevails, period! Send them a wage
It's all BS!! Your state law prevails, period! Send them a wage assignment revocation, that is the federal law, which states that you can revoke any wage assignment at any time and they must abide by it, and your emplyer as well. A sample is below. Until then, reply to them like this:
Please note I am not a resident of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, have never prescribed to be a resident of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation and have no Cheyenne River Indian Reservation presence, as such am not subject to the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation laws you detail. MY state law prevails.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I hereby revoke your right to use any wage assignment I may or may not have signed with you. You no longer have my permission to use this wage assignment, which is a federal law. If you fail to abide by my wishes, there will be consequences to your actions as I am sure you are aware. I have sent a copy of this to my employer, therefore any wage assignment made by your company will be denied.
Sincerely,
Your signature
